Injured on a holiday

Injured on a holiday

Holiday’s are part of the lifestyles of many Australian’s. These can be holidays within the state of NSW, interstate or international. Unfortunately, on holidays, Australian’s can experience an unexpected injury or illness in surroundings they are unfamiliar with whether it is a different town, state or country. Whilst travel insurance is highly recommended there are circumstances to claim for compensation without having travel insurance.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLETO MAKE A CLAIM?

If the accident arose as a result of the negligence of another person or party then you may be entitled to prosecute a claim for damages for the injuries sustained. Accidents do not just happen.

There is a cause and if the cause of the accident results from the negligence of another person or party then a claim for damages will be available.

WHAT ARE YOUABLE TO CLAIM?

Whilst travel insurance is always highly recommended, there are circumstances where having insurance does not prevent the injured person from bringing a claim in order to recover additional compensation. Ordinarily travel insurance will cover medical treatment expenses and loss of wages, if not wholly at least in portion.

A successful claim for compensation can recover for you not only out of pocket expenses but also compensation for your pain and suffering.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSULT A LAWYER ABOUT MAKING A CLAIM?

As soon as possible following an accident you should consult Brydens Lawyers for the purpose of seeking expert legal advice and representation as to whether a claim is available and what can be recovered by way of damages for the injuries which you have sustained.

Strict time limits apply to the making of such claims and there should be delay in you taking the first steps to recovering compensation to which you are entitled.

WHAT IS YOURNEXT STEP?

Once those who have been injured have been provided with proper medical treatment Brydens Lawyers should be consulted for the purpose of determining whether any claim is available for compensation for the injury sustained.

WHY ARE BRYDEN’S LAWYERS THE RIGHT REPRESENTATION FOR YOU?

Brydens Lawyers have for over 40 years been prosecuting personal injury claims on behalf of persons injured on holidays to ensure that they receive the compensation to which they are entitled.

For over 40 years now Brydens Lawyers has been operating a ‘No Win – No Fee”, policy which, simply put, provides that if a personal injury or compensation client is unsuccessful in their claim then Brydens Lawyers will not raise a tax invoice for having acted on behalf of the client. That is, if the claim is unsuccessful we do not get paid. More information about how this works can be found on our No Win – No Fee page.

Well here we are, the beginning of yet another year. 2019 presents as the year of challenges and incredible opportunities. It is a time for us to build upon the success of 2018 and to ensure that Brydens Lawyers continues to establish itself as the pre-eminent law firm in NSW.

I am very excited about the year ahead. Brydens Lawyers will maintain its sponsorship of numerous NRL Clubs but this year adds the South Sydney Rabbitohs to its stable of stars. January also brings about an end to the season for the Brydens Lawyers Sydney Uni Flames.
